In a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, host Jimmy Fallon kicked off the show with his usual charm and energy. Fallon, known for his lively and entertaining interviews, wasted no time in getting the audience excited.
With a warm welcome, Fallon acknowledged that it was National Burrito Day, sharing the good news that Chipotle gave away free burritos to celebrate. However, he couldn’t help but make a witty remark about the recent tariffs imposed by President Trump, which caused the price of guacamole to skyrocket.
Fallon then delved into the fallout from Trump’s tariffs, mentioning how the stock market experienced its worst day in years. With his signature humor, Fallon commented on the significant drop in Trump’s approval rating, correlating it with the decrease in tariff rates.
The talk show host highlighted Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on almost every country, resulting in the world’s fury towards the United States. Fallon humorously joked that Epcot, the famous Disney World attraction, is now down to only two countries due to the tariffs.
Amidst the laughter, Fallon shared that a mathematical formula had been devised to determine the tariff rate for each country. However, Trump apparently decided to ditch the formula and go for a Plinko-style approach. Fallon hilariously mentioned that Trump used a chart resembling an arrivals board from LaGuardia Airport to announce the tariffs.
Fallon continued to discuss the effects of Trump’s tariffs on the stock market and the rising prices of goods. He even showcased a viral remix video featuring clips from Trump’s speeches on tariffs. The entertaining remix perfectly embodied the widespread concerns regarding the impact of the tariffs.
Switching gears, Fallon highlighted the Chinese-based company Temu’s response to the tariffs. Temu, known for selling items from knockoff brands, had an amusing message that left the audience in stitches.
The talk show host didn’t stop there; he managed to tackle various other topics, including RFK Jr.’s push for serving whole milk in school cafeterias (but not the cow’s milk you’d expect) and Mike Waltz’s multiple group chats about countries like Ukraine, China, and the Middle East.
Fallon’s wit and charisma shone as he hilariously compared names like Mike Waltz and Tim Walz, Kamala’s running mate. He playfully mixed up the names while keeping the audience engaged and entertained.
As the show progressed, Fallon dived into the world of entertainment news, mentioning Amazon’s plans to cast the youngest-ever James Bond and the founder of OnlyFans making a last-minute bid to buy TikTok. The latter topic sparked a range of opinions, including one anonymous man who humorously admitted to having no clue what OnlyFans is.
To conclude the segment, Fallon shared a rather interesting tidbit. Apparently, due to current prices, some Americans have resorted to dyeing potatoes for Easter, leaving even Russia bewildered by the bleakness of the situation.
Fallon’s lively banter, engaging humor, and seamless transitions between topics made for an entertaining and unforgettable episode of The Tonight Show. With legendary musicians Elton John and Brandi Carlile as guests, the show reached new heights in terms of star power.
Overall, Fallon’s charm, wit, and ability to keep the audience entertained and engaged created a memorable talk show experience. With his natural hosting skills, Fallon continues to make The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon a must-watch for fans of lively and entertaining television.
